How about limiting UOFDiscord message per day for trade?

is discord trade spam is getting out of hand?

I can't help but feel the UOFDiscord trade channels (#buying-selling #real-estate-buysell #vendor-promoting) are getting spammed more each day. Endless repetitions of posts make basic functionalities like search unusable. An example, if you are looking for a '120 taming' you'll end up with tonnes of repetitions. Now imagine this for commodities that barely move within the market....

Since there is no moderation, nor guideline/toc - spammers are free to do as they wish. Not only frustrating possible buyers who are looking for something particular but failing because they can't get passed non-relevant spam turning in up the search. But it also 'litterally' pushes away other vendors.

To be honest, I think manual moderating would be too much of an effort. With discordbots, it might be possible to put some restrictions or automation in place. Examples:
  • 1 post limit per user every 10 h's. (can be edited so people can update their status)
  • Upon making a new post in a channel, all your previous posts get deleted there. (might be bad for keeping price retention).
  • Messages that have a 50% match in stringcompare with your last posts will be blocked.
  • ...
Anyway, I feel there is something that can be done with little effort from the discordowners (@Shane ?) so the quality of life returns to the trade channels.
